Late Victorian Holocaust - Marianne Faithfull

Up the Golborne Road with star-light in our blood

Over the bridge and along the canal

It was a late Victorian holocaust, pal

We were star-babies in the dark

Throwing up in Meanwhile Park

Then sleeping in each others arms

Beyond happy we were, beyond harm

Sweet Little Sleep

My dreams are yours to keep

Past the school with moon-fire in our hearts

Past The Cow

It was a late Victorian holocaust, but wow

We were star-babies as the day begun

Up the stairs and at a run

Then sleeping in each others arms

Happy we were and beyond harm

Sweet Little Sleep

My dreams are yours to keep

Down the Golborne Road with sunshine in our spines

Year after year

It was a late Victorian holocaust, dear

We were star-babies for a time

Lying down in Meanwhile Park

Sleeping in each others arms

Then up again and off we’d blow

Back down the Golborne Road we’d go

But nobody will ever wake again

And never will we rise

And never will we go

Along the canal and up the Golborne Road

Sweet Little Sleep

My dreams are yours to keep

Sweet Little Sleep

My dreams are yours to keep
